A very well directed, well paced, well acted 1st ep!

It’s such a shame that some people are so insecure that they can’t compete fairly with confidence and gave this incredible drama a bad rating out of fear / jealousy. That was a very solid first ep! We get a good background on Dongjin and his relationship with Mijeong but we’re still left with a lot of questions. Dongjin was quite a popular kid in school, but become a loner / friendless as an adult. It’s so nice to see Jinyoung flexing his acting between a bright high school kid and a charming yet lonely adult. It’s only the first ep but we get to see a wide range of emotions from him already i love it!Also what I love about the first ep is the pacing. It flows really well. As someone who loves Jinyoung’s acting it’s soooo satisfying to see him just knocks his scenes out of the park every time. This ep takes Dongjin’s POV and we get to see the world through his eyes and judgments. Only time will tell how accurate they are.

She’s used to the loneliness now, but from time to time, she recalls a boy, Lee Dong Jin, from high school with a bright smile who used to pass by her with his group of friends.This from drama description wasn't present, FL doesn't even know ML at all

This has potential - Let's see where this is going

Just finished the first episode and I'm not convinced yet. Important to know though: Stay until after the outro, there's more! Might be a preview, but it didn't feel like it.Stil, this first episode seemed like they wanted to show us all the little details without actually ever giving a context to see them in. I only got hooked at around the last five minutes of the episode. One hour in, and we barely know anything about the actual story, about what happend or about the characters. It's hard to put into words, but I think I'm still looking for the reason why I should watch this. I hope the next episode will have a bit more...substance to it. With only 10 episodes, I'm not sure they can afford the current very slow pace much longer. Also, of course they had to employ two tropes I'm not very fond of and I hope they resolve these well. Generally, everything seems to fit so far, the storytelling matches the characters as well as the story they are trying to tell and the atmosphere they are trying to create, so I think this has the potential to be a high-quality show. I'm just not sure if it's my kind of quality yet. The take on bad luck as well as people's perception of it certainly might hold some interesting perspectives.
